Wherever There Was a Demoness, There Would Be No Peace

"Then let's talk again later."

Despite being coldly rejected by Qi Zixiao, Zou Hu wasn't angry. He smiled apologetically and left with a grin.

This made Qi Zixiao even more unhappy.

Fortunately, the next sentence made her feel much better.

"Sister Zixiao, I didn't know that the divine secret was so precious. I was too reckless before..." Lu Yao Lu Yao smiled wryly.

Then she added, "This time, I also have some fellow disciples who want to purchase some celestial artifacts. Sister, do you think they are destined to be with me?"

Looking to buy a mobile phone?

That's great news!

Qi Zixiao's expression gradually calmed down.

Selling it at such a high price, doesn't your conscience bother you? Of course not!

In fact, it would be a bit wrong to sell at a low price at this point. Moreover, it is a fair trade. I am willing to sell and you are willing to buy. It is all voluntary.

What reason would one have to feel guilty?

Besides, they are Lu Yao's junior sisters, not ours.

Qi Zixiao glanced at Lin Fan, then happily began doing business with the celestial mechanism...

Many of Lu Yao's junior sisters had long been envious. As a sacred land in the Central Province, although it was all women, their overall strength was actually no weaker than that of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, and was even stronger.

Therefore, the sect has many elites, and many can afford to spend one million Spirit Stone without feeling too bad.

As a result, the sales of the magic machine quickly increased.

Many cultivators who came to watch the spectacle, whether from other sects or Rogue Cultivator, were very interested as long as they had the means to do so.

After all, first Du Chuan and Zou Hu offered tens of millions of Spirit Stone to buy it, and then many disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land readily paid to purchase it, and each of them treated the immortal secret as if they had found a treasure...

In this situation, naturally more people will be interested.

The business of using magic contraptions is booming...

Dan the Fatty, Divine Calculator, and Fan Jianqiang's businesses were also thriving, and they were making a fortune.

Then...

'Followers' have emerged.

There are plenty of smart people in any world.

Divine divination, fortune telling, and Immortal's Intoxication? Ordinary people can't offer comparable products, but elixirs are different!

Before long, many stalls were set up throughout the venue, with people frantically hawking and selling their pills.

In fact, in less than half an hour afterward, as the morning's competition came to a complete end, all the merchants in the city began to set up temporary stalls.

And it's not just elixirs; there are all sorts of magical treasures, talismans... a dazzling array of everything!

"Tsk tsk tsk, that feels good."

"That's more like a human being!"

Looking at the bustling crowds around him and listening to the shouts coming from all directions, Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

For him, this feeling could be summed up in two words: familiar!

"How should I put it? It's just like the bustling market on market days back home!"

Lin Fan found it quite amusing, but for the others, this scene was somewhat... unacceptable.

City Lord Huo Yuan was originally calm and composed, reclining leisurely in his large chair... as if he didn't care about this first round of competition at all.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but sit up straight, his brows furrowing slightly.

"This...?"

All around, there were endless shouts and calls from vendors.

This made his brow twitch even more.

"This is outrageous!"

"Lord City Master."

The Sendai expert who had been waiting beside Huo Yuan immediately said, "It's outrageous that I would stop them right now! Such a Heaven's Chosen Assembly has been turned into such a mess..."

"..."

Huo Yuan remained silent for a moment, and just as his subordinates were about to speak up to stop him, he suddenly waved his hand.

"Never mind."

He suddenly burst out laughing, "It's quite interesting, isn't it?"

"I should have expected some unexpected problems."

The subordinate was taken aback. "What do you mean, sir?"

"Where heroes gather, how can the Purple Mansion Saintess be absent? And where there is Purple Mansion Saintess, how can there not be trouble?"

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black..."

Huo Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "I should have thought of that, shouldn't I? It's quite fun, so let them be."

Subordinate: "..."

The saying "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black" is true.

However, the Purple Mansion Saintess?

He suddenly remembered the fear he felt when he was young, being controlled by Su the Runner and his Su the Runner, and couldn't help but shudder.

More like a Purple Mansion Demoness!

What kind of Saintess is this?!

The entire venue became increasingly heated (and chaotic).

However, many others had already sat cross-legged on the ring after their fights to recover from their injuries and prepare for their second battle in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, with the conclusion of the final battle of the morning, the afternoon's match list was finally released and communicated to everyone through the registration jade tokens.

Then...

Lin Fan blinked, then realized with astonishment that he had a bye!

"No opponents, advancing directly to the third round?"

"Hey! This luck is unbelievable, could it be..."

He touched the back of his head.

Although it is not visible at this moment, in fact, what is hidden in the illusion, besides Qi Zixiao's black hair, are two Merit Golden Ring.

"So, the luck bonus from the Merit Golden Ring is really that amazing?!"

In the first round, I encountered an opponent with almost the lowest cultivation level, who immediately surrendered and admitted defeat.

The second round was even more outrageous, because the total number of participants was an odd number, so everyone advanced directly!

Lin Fan scanned the list of other people again and found that the Saintess Squad was quite lucky this time.

Basically, all the opponents he encountered were within his capabilities. Although Dan the Fatty's opponent was at the Spirit Severance Initial Stage, this time he was a disciple of the Nine Dragons Holy Land, who was skilled in close combat!

Given Dan the Fatty's wealth and various 'methods,' it's not necessarily true that he can't win.

The other opponents are roughly equal in cultivation level, so there's really no need to worry.

Qi Zixiao's opponent is indeed a Spirit Severance Stage cultivator, but Lin Fan estimates that he will have to surrender and admit defeat...

Just as he was pondering this, three figures stumbled and rushed in.

Qiu Mobai and the other two finally 'returned', only to find the competition already over, which made them even angrier.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he immediately discovered Lin Fan's presence. Just as Qiu Mobai was about to rush over to demand an explanation, Sword Seventeen's voice transmission suddenly arrived.

"Swordsman, where have you been? Why are you absent?!"

"I..."

Qiu Mobai's body stiffened, and his scalp tingled.

What should we do?

How to explain this?

To tell the truth?

As a swordsman wielding the Top-Grade Dao Artifact, the Cloud Piercing Sword, he was defeated by a Rogue Cultivator in the Void Refining Initial Stage, ' True Person HeHe '.

He even sealed himself with an array and buried himself in a pit...

By the time you wake up, it's too late?

Even the Cloud Piercing Sword and all his personal treasures were looted?!

If this gets out, how can I save face?

As exceptional individuals, which one of them is shameless?

He was overwhelmed with thoughts, but ultimately could only suppress them.

Making trouble for Lin Fan? Sure, but not now, otherwise... he can't afford to lose face!

If I tell the truth, I will lose face in front of my fellow disciples.

After losing everything, given Sword Seventeen's fiery temper, he would definitely take me to cause trouble for Lin Fan immediately...

What would happen?

In the future, the fame of these prodigies will surely spread far and wide.

Look at him, that's the current Sword Master. Hey, he got beaten up by a fellow Rogue Cultivator, and then he actually cried and begged his elders to help him get revenge. Hehehe...

This image came to mind.

Qiu Mobai's face immediately turned cold.

He looked at the two Protector Disciple and immediately transmitted his voice. "Remember, do not talk nonsense. Everything I say later shall prevail!"

"No one is allowed to reveal the truth when asked."

Both men were quick-witted, and upon hearing this, they seemed to understand something and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, sir."

Qiu Mobai did not respond to Sword Seventeen with Divine Sense sense, but went to the stands to stand next to Sword Seventeen.

"Elder."

"What exactly happened?"

Sword Seventeen asked with a frown.

"We... last night we discovered a demon outside the city and gave chase, but to our surprise, the demon still managed to escape."

"Foolish!"

Sword Seventeen was immediately enraged. "You mere demon, do you know that you have ruined the Heaven's Chosen Assembly?"

"Elder Ke."

Qiu Mobai stiffened his neck. "Isn't it our Sword and Sabre Divine Sect's mission to eliminate demons and uphold justice, and to help the common people? As a sword disciple, how can I stand idly by when I encounter evil and heretical forces?"

"You..."

"Madness!"

Sword Seventeen was frustrated, but he couldn't criticize too much. He said angrily, "Do you know that just now I saw your opponent, Dan Chengzi of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, immediately hand over a Storage Bag to a cultivator after winning without a fight?"

"Besides, didn't our elders teach you back in the sect that you must be wary of the Purple Mansion Demoness no matter what?"

"That Dan Chengzi is very close to the current Purple Mansion Demoness, so he must not be a good person either."

Aren't you surprised?

"What does the elder mean?" Qiu Mobai pale.

"Don't you understand?!"

"Aren't you surprised that it's such a coincidence that you were supposed to fight Dan Chengzi this morning, but you happened to see that evil heretic last night?"

"Why did they have to come at this crucial moment?"

"After winning, Dan Chengzi gave others benefits..."

"Is there any connection between these things?!"

"In my opinion, it is clear that Dan Chengzi knew he was no match for him and resorted to any means to win. He used some kind of benefit to persuade someone else to take action and lure you to a distant place!"

"Yet you were completely oblivious and fell for it yourself..."

"You really are..."

Sword Seventeen sighed deeply, "You've disappointed me greatly!"

Qiu Mobai's face turned even paler.

But at the same time, he was also speechless.

How am I supposed to explain this? I didn't actually see any evil spirits or heretics? In fact, I was not only attacked, but all my treasures were also stolen?

That's something I can't say!

Moreover, Sword Seventeen's words directly resolved his doubts!

If... the cultivator who took Dan Chengzi's benefits was Lin Fan, then the culprit must be Dan Chengzi!
